Kajtaz House

Absolutely loved this hidden jem at the heart of Master old town. It is well preserved so one can get the feel of how it would have been to live here some hundred years back.

All the other reviews have it right: a beautifully preserved house, with exquisite rugs, woodwork, traditional clothing and cooking items, and a real sense of what it must have felt like to live here hundreds of years ago. The owner welcomed us and showed us around and told us about his family home, even though it was closed for August. A welcome shady oasis from the summer sun and a fascinating piece of authentic history.

Was closed when we arrived so little disappointed. But we rang the bell and waited a few minutes. Then as we were walking away, the owner came down the hill and said they were closed for a break but he happened to be nearby so he’s let us in. He gave us a nice history and then we walked around. Really cool to see a hundreds of years old house from ottoman times. Peaceful oasis. Sad they he’s not allowed to continue the renovation

Very beautiful well-preserved place. Definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely mesmerising. Beautiful architecture, the host is a friendly man happy to tell you about its history and takes care of it. It's not as touristy as the other Ottoman houses in the city since it's not on the main street and you need to know which way to go. Definitely worth the few extra blocks, don't miss it! There's an entrance fee, I think

Amazing old ottoman house, around 400 years old of I'm not wrong. Entrance is 2 Euros. They close at 16h.

Worth a short visit. Entrance 2 euro. You can see original ottoman house from XVII.

Authentic 1500s Ottoman residence hidden up a side street directly east of the bridge south of the historic mostar bridge. Barely signposted... Just walk up the neighborhood alley about 70m ( it's just after the point you think you've missed it). UNESCO listed but privately owned makes it somewhat awkward... You ring a doorbell and wait (& wait) for a neighbour to come with a key. Token entry fee couple of euros but you're free to roam... shoeless for the upstairs. Amazingly cool inside and hard to believe the vintage. Very much an eye opener of ottoman family life. An essential detour while visiting Mostar.

The most beautiful Ottoman house I have ever seen. I recommend everyone to make the visit with the explanation of its owner, an authentic Kajtaz, a kind, friendly, cultured and sensitive man. If I lived in Mostar I would like to be his friend!

You have 2 other authentical ottoman houses in Mostar but this one is the real one. Everything belongs to the Kajtaz family and isn't staged. The owner is from the family Kajtaz and explains the history of the house and the family. Entrance is very cheap (5km I believe). So if you want to see a historical house in Mostar this is the place to be

Very authentic and cameral atmosphere. 4 bam for entry and the owner is telling a history of the house and his family. Must to visit.

Very interesting 400+ year old Turkish style house. Basic tour given by one of two remaining brothers of the original family, who shares his memories of growing up in the house. The two brothers are the final two people to carry their family name.

This is the most beautiful Ottoman house I've seen in the Balkans, and the guide is super knowledgeable.

Costs 4KM per person, no facilities or gift shop.

Kajtaz house is in the street of the same name and it is probably built at the end of 16th or at the beginning of the 17th century. Its original form has been preserved. The house belongs to town dwelling architecture, and it is the most beautiful living complex built in Turkish times, with separate houses for men and women. High walls protect it from strong sunshine and from people from the outside looking in. Valuable carpets can be seen on the floors of large rooms, and numerous books in Arabic have been preserved. It is made of stone and wood.

Unique place full of history something you cannot even imagine seeing in museum you can hold in your hands here

Enjoyed visiting the house! The tour by the owner with lots of history was great. House is pretty and has amazing views :) recommend

The entrance fee is 4 Marka or 2 euros. Well worth the effort.

Beautiful and well preserved house owned by the same family for centuries.

The only fully preserved ottoman house in Mostar. A must see

Beautiful historical house kept in very good shape.
